Florencia

"Disappointing"

Reviewed 27 November 2011 by Anonymous

We travelled on the Florencia 11th Oct with our children overnight. There was no children's facilities as stated, very little food, the smallest room (4 door wardrobe and writing desk?), nowhere to sit outside, and we were required to vacate our room hours before our arrival. We were also required to be waiting with our car at the terminal to embark hours before the boat left. A most unpleasant 3 hours waiting in my car with thankfully patient children. Luckily we managed to bring some of our own food on board. We have travelled on other Grimaldi boats that were much better. If I had known this boat was like this, I would have driven the journey instead. The staff we fine, however, if you have children maybe go another way. We manage to be self entertaining but we were so disappointed to find this vessel was much different to how it was on the website. It was a very basic boat. If you like gaming machines and food on plastic plates, go for it.
